""Palestina"" is a historical novel written by Robert Chambers. The story is set in Palestine during the early 20th century, during the time of the British Mandate. The plot follows the lives of several characters who are caught up in the conflict between the Jewish and Arab communities in the region. The main character is a British officer named Richard Pater, who is sent to Palestine to maintain order and prevent violence between the two groups. Along the way, he meets a variety of characters, including a Jewish activist, an Arab sheikh, and a British journalist. As tensions rise, Pater finds himself torn between his duty to maintain peace and his growing sympathy for the Jewish cause. The novel explores issues of identity, nationalism, and the struggle for self-determination. It also provides a vivid portrayal of life in Palestine during this tumultuous period, including the challenges faced by both Jewish and Arab communities. Overall, ""Palestina"" is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers a unique perspective on a complex and controversial period in history.The middle earth sea kept as streight a line vpon the west side of the countrie, so that Reuben beeing seated without the riuer Iordan, vpon the South, and halfe the tribe of Manasse vppon the North, and Gad in the middle betwixt them, the rest of the twelue tribes or familyes (for so were the people distinguished) tooke their portions in this sort betweene the riuer Iordan, and the middle earth sea, Iudah and Simeon, had the farthest south partes, next vnto whome were Beniamin and Dan, Nephtalim and Aser, were placed in the farthest North partes, and Zabulon bordered vpon them, the other halfe tribe of Manasse enioyed the middle of the land, and was neighboured on the south by Ephraim.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
